Analysis of the recultivation effectivity performed after gas industrial complex accidental impact

The current state of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine is characterized by the increase of technogenic impact on the environment, especially in emergency situations. The state of soil and groundwater was determined for the terrain affected by technogenic disaster and where subsequent recultivation took place. A comparison with the state of the soil and water of the “ecologically clean” settlement of the same district was carried out. Conclusions on the effectiveness of the recultivation measures have been made

Electric potential of the electron sound wave: Sharp disappearance in the superconducting state

We study the ac electric potential induced by the electron sound wave (a perturbation of the electron distribution function propagating with the Fermi velocity) in single crystals of high purity gallium. The potential and the elastic components of the electron sound demonstrate qualitatively different dependencies on the electron relaxation rate: while the phase of the potential increases with temperature, the phase of elastic displacement decreases. This effect is explained within the multiband model, in which the potential is attributed to the ballistic quasiwave, while the elastic component is associated with the zero-sound wave. We observed a mysterious property of the superconducting state: all manifestations of the potential accompanying the lattice deformations, including usual sound wave, disappear below T_c in almost jumplike manner.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, to be published in Phys.

Surface pinning in amorphous ZrTiCuNiBe alloy

We have measured the amplitude and the phase of an electromagnetic (EM) field radiated from superconductor (amorphous ZrTiCuNiBe alloy) in the mixed state due to interaction of the flux lattice with an elastic wave. The results undoubtedly point to an essential contribution of a surface pinning into the flux lattice dynamics. We propose a model that describes radiation of EM field from superconductors with non-uniform pinning. The model allows to reconstruct the viscosity and the Labush parameters from the experimental data. The behavior of the Labush parameter can be qualitatively explained in terms of the collective pinning theory with the allowance of thermal fluctuations.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Regional Investment Policy Under the Impact of Budget Limitations and Economic Sanctions

The article is devoted to the assessment of influence of budgetary restrictions and economic sanctions on investment policy of a region. The paper studies the bilateral negative effect on socio-economic development of regions from both the external sanctions and braking mechanism of economic development within the country. On the basis of the comparative and statistical analysis, the need to change focus of investment policy from the growth in volumes to qualitative perfecting is proved. The new direction of investment policy connected with the import substitution process realization, its combination with acceleration of innovative development on the certain example of Sverdlovsk region is analyzed. The conclusions and offers stated in the article are applicable to the public authorities of subjects of the Russian Federation, experts in the sphere of regional investment policy and improvement of investment climate, and also the specialized organizations specialized in attracting investment and work with investors in regions of Russia
